Be sure it can be killed with a kill switch which AI cannot reverse! NOW!

How will AI kill humans? They don’t have guns or knives? How exactly will they cause human extinction!

This was completely foreseeable. In fact over 10 years ago a TV show, Person of Interest, had a complete story line about Samaritan (get the irony) a super computer that overcame the benevolent AI that the protagonists were using to save lives. Cameras everywhere could identify anyone it wanted to destroy. It did not end well, unlike most TV programs. Life imitating art--sorry to say.

Just to clarify when you say “ban super intelligence” do mean a full ban or a temporary ban until alignment can be and is solved?

Obviously either is preferable to the current situation. Once we get a global ban/pause/stop/moratorium, I think it should be up to we the people of the world to decide whether to build superintelligence if we ever find a way to do so safely.

It shouldn't be the decision of a few billionaires to risk all of our lives, and it shouldn't be their decision to build new gods, either.

I am more in favor of a pause until alignment is solved! I would like to know what the authors of the article (Tolga Bilge and Andrea Miotti think!

They want powerful AI to be built once it is safe. Check out Phase 2 of "A Narrow Path" (https://www.narrowpath.co/) by the same authors. :)

Thank you! I didn’t see that before.

It is wild to think that such a small fraction of research goes toward safety while we are basically building a black box that we can't fully see inside of yet.

Stop AI. We don’t want it. We don’t need it.

Question remains are we going to get Data or Lore? I stopped watching Star Trek when Data stabbed counselor Troy and I'll be very happy with my cabin, garden, and wood stove. Thank you.
